Hi there!
Don´t laugh, ok? But I have done this a couple of times. The scene is rendering and I wanna take a closer look of some specific parts of the render using CTRL+zoom wheel. It works pretty, thanks. But for some reason, distracted, I touch my mouse and bang... there it goes my 3h render! Is there any possibility to "lock" the render so it doesn´t matter where you click or what you do with your mouse, the render will not stop?
Thanks,
Moita

Yeah, that might be nice to have a "lock view".
It's also quite easy to accidentally change the point of view while clicking with the material dropper.
Things get worse if you use a tablet.

Not a big problem, but such a feature could be nice to have.

I was just thinking the same thing today. A lock camera button would be very useful.

Or possibility to add several cameras. One you could lock as your render camera and a second you could use to explore your scene..
